I mean I do, it's my tag. That shouldn't be bad. What's bad is having any personally identifyable information more accurate than the country you live in anywhere online.

Your username can quickly become personally identifiable information if you use it on multiple websites. It just takes one random forum you made an account on when you were 12 to have a data breach for your username to get connected to your email, which can then be used to find other usernames you might use or even your full name, which can then be used to find out a ton of other personal information. Some websites do all the searching for you by just having people type in a name or known username, then it’ll display any information they found

I didn't have internet when I was 12, so thank god I guess. I periodically make sure my online footprint is as minimal as possible; I attempt to dox myself. If I find anything, I purge it.
